Oprah Lashes Out At 'AWALK' For Questioning Her Charity To The Ghetto

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Oprah Winfrey’s love for US Olympic breakout out star, gymnast Gabby Douglas, found her in a brief Twitter war with AWALK.

It began with this tweet presumably as the media mogul was watching the Olympics,

“@SheriSalata Gabby, my secret daughter ..love her!”

AWALK responded, “@Oprah when are u going 2 give back 2 the ghettos in america?”

Oprah quickly fired back: “awalkdatalk when are u? I’ve put 500 African American men thru college. And u sir?”

Ouch….needless to say he remained quiet after that. This isn’t the first time Oprah has received backlash over the perception that she cares more about middle aged white women than she cares for black people. But the numbers speak for themselves. Here’s what Wikipedia wrote of some of the talk-show host’s philanthropic contributions:

“In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Oprah created the Oprah Angel Network Katrina registry which raised more than $11 million for relief efforts. Winfrey personally gave $10 million to the cause.[166] Homes were built in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama before the one year anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.[167] Winfrey has also helped 250 African-American men continue or complete their education at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.”

What do you make of Oprah’s critics?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
